Matt Gaetz in Florida. The Georgia election board. Things are unraveling in the major swing states that will decide this year's election and Republicans are freaking out. Are they going to be able to rein in their big bunch of weirdos or will their own people be their undoing?

I would be pushing for a pre-vetting period for candidates before they're confirmed to be on the ballot. In between the time they apply to be on the ballot and they officially approved. Perspective candidates should be REQUIRED to go in front of an independent group where they can be interviewed as well as those that know them best to get to know the candidates better. They would also be able to review their tax records, medical records, criminal background checks, etc. and if to many red flags are found like Mark Robinson's recent scandal, they can be rejected from being on the ballot. We could find a lot more of these kind of scandals BEFORE they're allowed on the ballot. It would put these extremist candidates on notice they would likely be kicked off the ballot.

I think part of the reason is that nobody saw MAGA coming, and when it did a lot of people [like Robinson] from the bottom of the moral barrel crawled out of the woodwork after realizing they could easily make a name for themselves being nasty as possible. If MAGA and Covid showed anything it's that so many people are not only dumber than previously thought (which is saying a lot), but also meaner than previously thought (which, again, is saying a lot). Dumb and mean? How could someone who wants to exploit the masses resist? MAGA is free money. As an example, just see a black person in a video game and say "woke" and "DEI." Harass immigrants and transgender people... play on fear and the unknown. It's that easy. That's why it's so concerning.

@snkybrki 3 дня назад

A lot of Trump supporters support Trump because what they associate him with- it's rare for a supporter to actually research his promises, interests, and accomplishments. He's made an effort to yap about being a supporter of various classic American ideals (even if he doesn't actually embody them). Combine that with largely shallow, surface-level (with occasional legit) criticism of Kamala & the democrat party from certain media sources/social media, and you get a large chunk of his voter base. Think of it this way: Have you, personally, researched Kamala's (or Joe's) promises, interests, and accomplishments? If yes, then that's great, but can you say the same for your friends who (hopefully) also are voting for her? If you don't explicitly look into someone's platform/history, whether or not you support them will very heavily depend on optics. Which is as subjective as it is influenceable. Tl;dr: He has as many voters as he does because mfs don't actually look into the guy, and vote largely on optics/what they're fed.

@@snkybrki I think what it comes down to today as we face a real crossroads in this country, is a vote for Harris is also a vote against the lies and conspiracy theories that go on and on where the right wing maga like media has been telling a lot of good people for years one made up piece of horse shit story after another. Trump is just a product of their made up National Inquirer type headlines. In actuality I don't think that part of the media gives a damn how divided our country becomes as long as they get viewers. That is the crux of this nightmare we are now faced with! They have no regulations on them at all, which of course is the American way, especially since the FCC took the reigns off them. Obviously the successful lawsuits against them is not nearly enough to shutter their doors. What I believe and what makes this country so great, freedom of speech for one, is voting BLUE across the board is a way forward to begin the healing I feel, with saner minds in charge. Or as we used to say with the grown ups in charge.

The whole idea of being a "swing-state" is because in 2022 our governor Steve Sisolak was replaced by a Republican, however, almost all other important elections went blue. The reason Sisolak was replaced was because he enforced a strict COVID lockdown, and many people who normally vote blue were angry, and there were a lot of business closures, so it wasn't a surprise... but no, you don't need to worry about Nevada... it is Kamala all the way!

I wonder if you'd find the same in somewhere like Meadville or Saegertown. I say this because I saw the same stuff here in rural Indiana in '16 and '20. This time it's just crickets. Doesn't really change anything for PA; still a dogfight for sure. But I wonder if the enthusiasm gap is real and flying under the radar.

Many of us are volunteering to work the election polls. The high population of students helps to keep folks more informed and provides many opportunities to get involved politically. We have an extremely diverse population, with many folks having a Hispanic or Laotian family background (among many others). We have an exceptionally strong LGBTQ+ community who is active, vocal and welcoming. There are large/public pride events here (open LGBTQ+ owned business markets in the summer, festivals, etc). I live in a subdivision full of working families. There are practically no campaign signs anywhere (lawns or billboards). I know of neighbors on both sides politically, however this county has gone blue in every presidential election since 1932 (with the exception of Eisenhower) - so most around here would rather be at peace with their neighbor, than be loud about their politics.

I also work in a grocery store, so it gives me a good view of a small selection of regular people as they're shopping. I've come across a good few people wearing a Trump shirt or hat.

Leeja, I am an Australian with a fascination for American history and politics. I have been watching your excellent videos for some time. This video is particularly impressive. Grown ups are able to see the complexity of human existence and experience for what it is. Those who recognise it and talk about it face so many barriers. So much anger, so much manipulation and so little compassion exists in this world. Please keep trying to make a difference with your videos. You are a natural born teacher.

I live in Michigan and I'm really hoping Harris pulls through. I live in a more conservative area outside of Grand Rapids and there is a LOT of Trump shit. I'm hoping that it's just the area I'm in. Harris polling well in the state is giving me hope. This election is really important for the future of my rights as a trans person and I'm hoping for the best :,)

The fact the proven allegations against Mark Robinson didn't immediately disqualify him from the governorship is proof of how dire the state our country is in.

Yet if he were a Democrat, he'd gracefully resigned by choice or would be pressured to resign from all sides. It's the Trump-Cuomo comparison all over again.

Just to throw this out there, saying "trans attracted" is really weird. Seems like youre using it as an insult. Saying he fetishizes trans women is correct and not belittling of trans existence. But saying trans-attracted buys a lot into the normative ethics of the US right wing without checking the bias.

😮 Totally agree with your comments about Robinson. How do such people even get nominated to run for office?! Happy Bi Visibility Day, by the way ❤

I don’t understand why your votes can be played with depending on which state you live in or why your votes have a second step where your votes can be used to go against what you voted for. I know my country is smaller than most (if not all) your states but when I cast my vote for a candidate I know that is the final step of voting and I get to actually exercise my democratic right to vote

I live in michigan, live in a blue county, and work in a traditionally red county. I've made it a game of counting yard signs while I've been at work. Before harris went in, there was only a single biden sign as far as i saw in the county. Since she has been the candidate, I watched it go from 25/75 to 40/60 to 50/50 and now to roughly 70/30 for harris/trump sign ratio. This includes some yards that changed signs also. On top of talking to people, I have confidence that Michigan will end up blue this year.

There’s one truck on my block that had a giant LET’S GO BRANDON on the rear window and a big MAGA banner on the tailgate. The week after Biden dropped out, they replaced those with a normal flag and a little Outer Banks sticker.😂

It's also imploding in Colorado. They held a meeting to oust the party head. Now they are in an argument as to what that meeting was legal and courts are going to have to be involved.

I love the way Canadian federal and provincial election ballots have only one question on them. It's just a list of the candidates and you pick one. When I see US ballots I immediately see why the recounts take you so long. There are so many things to vote on all in one form.

I will say, I’m a college-aged person in Michigan, and most of what I’ve seen is very much in Kamala’s favor. Of course, I am at a university, where people are more likely to lean left, but I feel like people are realizing how batshit insane Trump is.

Arizona reporting in. They tried to get some people off the voter rolls, but it backfired slightly cause it was largely in favor of democrats. So they decided to wait to figure it out in 2025 for the next elections. for those curious it had something to do with proof of citizenship and those citizens would be allowed to vote in national elections but not local ones until they proved their Arizona residency. The group impacted was mainly 45+ year olds. They had ONE non-citizen slip through the cracks, but he never voted. As long as they don't take away early voting, I'm taking care of it the day I get it and handing it directly to the mail carrier when I see them next.

I was scared to come out as bisexual to my conservative wife, but when I did, I got a hug from her. She has been supportive and gotten pregnant with twin daughters. She has been my support as a bi man towards my family , She stuck up for me to my homophobic mom.

Swing stater here, I used to be so confident in how people felt around here, which was mostly blue. But my state has gotten more and more political, more and more divided. Trump supporters are less afraid, and I feel hate is starting to become more tolerated. We were blue last election, but I just don’t know this time. I think the youth will be a huge factor in my state this time, all the younger new voters will have a big impact. It scares me honestly

@capkronos00 3 дня назад

I live in an 80% Trump county in Ohio. There are FAR less Trump signs around than there were in 2016 and 2020 and I almost never hear people talking politics in public like I did the previous two elections. However, the "Christians" round here will still vote for him even if they're becoming publicly embarrassed to admit it so I doubt there will be much change in the state vote totals. Best case scenario for us would be to hold on to Sherrod Brown.

"If we get rid of the Electoral College then elections will be up to just California and New York!" Yeah, because right now it's so much better that elections are up to like a combined 30,000 people in Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

And that argument completely ignores the facts that 1) CA and NY make up only about 1/5 of the country’s population, 2) the populations of TX and FL are almost as high, and 3) both CA and NY are about 30% Republican. It’s either disingenuous or genuinely ignorant.

I live in Michigan. I'm an openly genderfluid individual and I have experimented with dressing very femboy in our more rural areas. All the people younger or my age are cool, middle age getting into boomer tend to be sweet kind people, and the boomers have kinda lighten up over the years. I just hope we stay happy through this. Michigan is my home and I've visited most of the Midwest and it'll always stay my peninsulas

I'm from Michigan but am currently living in Georgia for college. I'm gay, nonbinary, neurodivergent, and an art student... so things are going great lol. As frustrated as I am about the lack of movement/policy from Kamala, I will say that it's so so refreshing to see campaigning centering on hope rather than hate. The world is so depressing and even if the sentiments are surface level, it's just a nice change of pace. The next Trump rally is gonna be right next to student housing, which I think is really funny bc I go to a liberal arts school. But I'm also genuinely concerned for my fellow classmates that live there. A lot of students have queer flags, artsy, or anarchist patches/buttons/etc. on their bags and bumpers. Or just have alt aesthetics with their clothes. I just hope everyone is able to get to class and back without being harassed.
